During his May 11 arrest, Richard Simone, 50, of Worcester, was seen in Sky5 helicopter video apparently kneeling on the ground before the troopers allegedly ran up and started to violently beat him.

The chase began on the afternoon of May 11 when Simone, who was wanted on multiple arrest warrants, including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and larceny, refused to stop for police in Holden.

From there, the chase wound through several communities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire at speeds that allegedly topped 90 mph.

The chase eventually ended in Hudson, New Hampshire, after his truck was cornered in a dead end.

When Simone got out of his truck, he appeared to be kneeling on the ground when an officer ran up and the alleged violent arrest began.

New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph A. Foster said Massachusetts State Police Trooper Joseph Flynn, 32, and New Hampshire State Police Trooper Andrew Monaco, 31, were arrested.

Flynn was charged with two counts of simple assault, and Monaco was charged with three counts of simple assault.

Flynn was released on $2,000 personal recognizance bail, and Monaco was released on $3,000 personal recognizance bail.

Because both men were on-duty law enforcement at the time, the charges are subject to an enhanced penalty.

Flynn and Monaco are scheduled to be arraigned in September.

David Procopio, of the Massachusetts State Police, said Flynn has been suspended without pay since the incident.
